filPECIFIGfLTION forming part of Letters Jt'Patent No. 60%,785, dated May 31, 1.898,

4 Application filed February 17, 1897. Serial No. 623,785. (No specimens.)

sition of matter adapted to be used as a bale ing-varnish or enamel-that is to say, a varnish to bo applied in liquid form and then subjected to heat or baked until it is thou oughly hardened or set. This varnish is Go pecially useful in connection with indurated fiber-Ware or other material which it is dosired to render waterproof, as it is not only insoluble in water, but also capable of withstanding a high degree of heat, as is necessary in pails and other receptacles made from iiberwarc Which are adapted to contain boiling Water or other liquids heated to a high degree.

The varnish which forms the subject of this invention consists of maize-oil or corn-oil, as it is sometimes called, and resin or other gums, there being substantially equal quantitics of each, to which inaybeaddod about ten per cent. of drier. in n-eparing the varnish the corn-oil is boiled until it reaches the proper consisle-he it being; found best to boil it for about three days, the resin being added thereto and the drier, which may be any of the so-called .driers in commercial use for mixing with paint or varinsh, is also added after the boiling process is conuglcted. After the composition made as above described. it may be applied in any suitable or usual way, by paint-inn or dipping, after which the article to which it is applied is preferably subjected to heat until the varnish is thoroughly hardened, the result being that a substantially waterproof iinish is obtained, the appearance of which, moreover, is superior to that of other varnishes commonly employed.

The varnish embodying the invention, as has been stated, is particularly applicable to articles which are capable of being subjected to a high degree of heat, as in an ordinary enamcling oven, it being found, however, that thesamo composition will dry and harden in the air if time enough is given and the air sutliciently heated to substantially reduce the humidity, it being practicable, for exampie, to use this varnish for floors or other inside finish if the room in which the varnish is applied can be left for several days and heated to somewhat above the usual normal. temperature.

I OlZLllll l. The herehrdescribed baking-varnish or enamel which consists of boiled corn-oil as its essential ingredient, and a resin or gu in mixed therewith, substantially as described.

53. The herein-described baking-varnish or enamel which consists of cornoil, resin or gum, and a drier, said materials being used.

in substantially the proportions stated, substantially as described.

In testimony whereof I have signed. my name to this specification in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
